Zenless Zone Zero Version 1.5 introduces highly anticipated S-Rank agent reruns! For the first time, players can obtain previously released characters like Ellen Joe and Qingyi. This marks a significant shift from the game's previous strategy of solely introducing new agents with each update, aligning it more closely with the rerun banner systems of other HoYoverse titles like Genshin Impact.
Version 1.5 will be divided into two phases. Phase 1 (January 22nd - February 12th) features the new Ether agent, Astra Yao, alongside a rerun banner for Ellen Joe (originally from Version 1.1), including her Agent Story. Phase 2 (February 12th - March 11th) will introduce Evelyn Chevalier and a rerun banner for Qingyi (also from Version 1.1). Both rerun banners will also offer the respective characters' signature W-Engines.
The Version 1.5 Special Program also confirmed leaked information about new character outfits. Three new outfits will be available: "Chandelier" for Astra, "On Campus" for Ellen, and "Cunning Cutie" for Nicole. Notably, Nicole's "Cunning Cutie" outfit is a free reward from the Day of Brilliant Wishes event. This update finally gives players a second chance to acquire these popular characters and their accompanying equipment.
